Can you add SpectroCoin in the list of exchanges on dash.org? https://www.dash.org/exchanges/
It is not the biggest service, but they are EU based with 600k+ users. They also support few other crypto (BTC, ETH, XEM,...) and FIAT (EUR, USD, PLN etc.)
My verification took them just one day (in these days) and they also provide Card service - both virtual and plastic cards

Link (my referal) - https://spectrocoin.com/en/signup.html?referralId=945058529

on it

I can see it was already added, so thanks. Just one update - card service is no longer operational in EU. This is affecting pretty much every service like BitPay, Xapo, Wirex, TenX, Loadoo

Hello dashers!

I'm from Turkey and I'd like to add a Turkish Exchange which have DASH/TL (Turkish Lira) pairs.
https://koineks.com/

I send 1 dash to test them and I send the dash from my desktop wallet with zero fee and quickly it was on my account there.  I sold the dash and withdraw the TL money to my turkish bank account and it went without problems. For the last 2 months I'm using there to sell dash and get some TL. I do not sell much, I am mostly holder, only 0.5 or 1 dash at a time. But it's better to sell dash on poloniex, transfer the BTC to a turkish exchange and pay high BTC transfer fees,  and sell there for TL.

Top MMA Fighter Rory MacDonald Sponsored by Dash

The Dash Network has sponsored top MMA fighter Rory MacDonald, marking likely the largest cryptocurrency sponsorship of an athlete to date.

Rory MacDonald is one of the world’s top-ranked MMA fighters, currently competing at welterweight under the Bellator promotion. He holds a 19-4 record with wins over top UFC fighters including Demian Maia, Nate Diaz, BJ Penn, and others, including a win over dominant UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley. MacDonald put a proposal for funding of a $250,000 sponsorship before the Dash masternode network, which passed 899 Yes/233 No/8 Abstain.

According to MacDonald, his journey to cryptocurrency started with his coach, and he believes we will see significant inroads for Dash and cryptocurrency into the MMA world:

What's the potential impact from Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities to Masternodes running on VPS or Cloud platforms?

[iCEBREAKER]

What's the potential impact from Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities to Masternodes running on VPS or Cloud platforms?

https://aws.amazon.com/security/security-bulletins/AWS-2018-013/


tldr; if you had coins in a Masternode hosted on shared VPS they're probably already gone (should have used a Dedicated Instance)

Too bad DashCore never got around to making Masternode blinding work.  Now Dash users have to worry about zombie Masternodes controlled by Spectre invading their privacy and stealing their coins.

I still have coins in a masternode that's hosted on shared vps. i'll let u know when are gone. stay tuned!

For your info ICEBREAKER, DASH doesn't use hot wallet masternodes that are always online! stop spreading FUD around! Even if a "remote masternode" gets hacked (its a cold wallet) no actual funds are within the wallet, there elsewhere remote probably on the otherside of the world or even on a hardware device like trezor. Stop chatting crap! First learn how Dash's tech works before you start commenting:

How to Buy Dash Cryptocurrency?

[solowhizkid]

To those that are worried about the latest processor vulnerabilities:

1. Ignore ICEBREAKER, his just a troll spreading mischeif and does not know how tech works!
2. Even if its a dedicated / shared vps and it running either linux or windows you will eventually have to update your system to recieve the latest CVE patches.
3. On Linux you would run something like (when the patches are released)

 > If you are running Centos / Redhat

 Run these commands as the root user or sudo:

 "yum update --disableexcludes=all update - y" (without quotes) this will ensure all packages including the kernel are updated even if they are packages defined as exclusions in /etc/yum.conf

 > If you are running ubunutu:

 "apt-get update"  -  To get updates
 "apt-get upgrade"  - To install them

 4. For Windows, just go ahead and manually patch it, i am sure Microsoft will be dishing the updates out soon automatically, if you have automated patching runing, you wont see a difference to other updates that you would normally get, but if you patch manually, its best to go ahead and just search for updates ones there released from Microsoft and update.

Doing the above however will mean you have to restart your servers at some point as these are considered kernel patches and only take effect when the devices have been rebooted. Don't worry you wont lose your place on the masternodes so long as your server advertises its a masternode within an hour and you wont need to do a remote restart or anything from the masternode, just start up "dashd" again and you'll be in the payment queue within no time.

Providers such as AWS, Microsoft, Google, Rackspace and other hosting providers etc will all send out communication to those that are effected and give you guidance on how to mitigate and patch anyway so nothing to be worried about.

As mentioned earlier, ignore ICEBREAKER, his a troll! It clearly says it on the left hand side of all my posts just under my profile name

Poor Icey, after all these years he is still trying to break the ice with us with all his cute (although somewhat lenghty  ) copy and paste posts.

Just hang in there Icey, one day you will succeed and you will finally be part of our growing Dash community and actually feel the Dash feeling
that we all feel in here.....

Bitnovo Partnership Brings Dash to Thousands of Retailers in Spain

Bitnovo, a Spanish startup with several years in the cryptocurrency industry has announced the integration of Dash on its platform.

Bitnovo is a startup that allows it customers to purchase both Bitcoin and Dash cryptocurrencies safely, easily and quickly.

Bitnovo also offer debit cards for cryptocurrency, from traditional card with users data, to completely anonymous cards that don’t store user data, something really appreciated due its privacy.

Support and resistance forming a symmetrical triangle may be a positive sign of a breakout. Seems to agree with a lot of the TA analysis done over the past few days.

You know that you are holding something special if it's the only thing green in a sea of red. Dash has been my best investment to date. Just kicking myself for not buying more when it jumped to $150.

[Red_Sanford]

Icebreaker do you have nothing better to do than troll this page everyday ? Your FUD just add's to the pages of our thread. You actually make it look like there is much more discussion and a much more active thread.

Thank You  !!

I don't think you thoroughly comprehend the issue. The vulnerability exists with the hardware, and cannot be fully remediated without hardware replacement. If you believe service providers such as AWS, Azure, etc. can complete the necessary hardware replacement within the next 6 to 12 months, that's naive at best. The replacement is a significant undertaking with extraneous costs, and past the cost factor, hardware vendors cannot even supply at the necessary levels to meet that type of demand. Software vendors will attempt to remediate within their realm/capabilities but each fix will be shortlived as new vulnerabilities are identified within the code identified. Believe me, in the short term, a significant amount effort will be invested in identifying new attack vectors to exploit this persistent vulnerability, by governments and other entities.
This means your coins as the masternode owner may be safe on the VPS or Cloud instance they are hosted on, but the transactions passing through will not be until the underlying hardware is replaced.

On the phone right now writing this, but I fully comprehend the issue and am aware it's hardware related, yes in the short term they can " mitigate " this with software patches which will thus slow down performance, however masternodes are being compensated so they should be able to spec up a beefier server if need be. In the long term yes hardware will need to be replaced, but with digital solutions whether it be on a silicon chip or even software based there will always be flaws, bugs etc discovered, that's just a apart of life, after all its humans who are behind the tech and we all make mistakes unless ur ICEBREAKER of course.. Hehe his perfect! Sykes.
